Overview
We are looking for PhD-level Applied Physicists to stress-test cutting‑edge AI models, exposing gaps in their physical reasoning and ensuring they do not violate fundamental laws of the universe. This fully remote, hourly contract role is built for researchers and academics who wish to work on their own schedule.
Key Details
* Organization: Alignerr
* Type: Hourly Contract
* Location: Remote
* Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You’ll Do
* Design advanced physics problems that span quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, classical mechanics, and thermodynamics, requiring multi‑step reasoning and mathematical derivation.
* Author gold‑standard solutions with rigorous, step‑by‑step responses that are unimpeachable.
* Audit AI‑generated proofs and simulations for physical consistency, identifying hallucinations that violate first principles.
* Provide structured feedback to coach AI systems on boundary conditions, conservation laws, and real‑world constraints.
* Document failure modes so research teams can build more physically grounded models.
Who You Are
* Holds or is completing a PhD in Applied Physics, Physics, Engineering Physics, or a closely related field.
* Deep mastery across core pillars: Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Quantum Mechanics.
* Exceptional analytical writing skills with clear, structured prose.
* Uncompromising precision in units, scientific notation, dimensional analysis, and logical flow of proofs.
* Self‑motivated and reliable when working independently and asynchronously.
* No prior AI or data‑annotation experience required.
Nice to Have
* Experience with data annotation, scientific dataset evaluation, or quality assurance for research outputs.
* Proficiency with computational tools such as MATLAB, COMSOL, Python (NumPy/SciPy), or similar.
* Background in experimental or computational physics research.
* Familiarity with AI or machine learning concepts as an end user or researcher.
Benefits
* Work on high‑impact AI projects in collaboration with leading AI research labs.
* Fully remote and flexible schedule.
* Freelance autonomy while engaging in research‑level work.
* Direct exposure to how frontier large language models are trained and evaluated.
* Contribute to AI development that could shape how technology understands the physical world for decades.
* Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch.
